Hello,

I’ve been doing the exercise, but have been having problems keeping up with everyone as we’re rather short-staffed here at the moment, and haven’t had the time to submit my record.  I agree with Erika, the display of the digitised pages was a bit confusing, but I also didn’t encounter any more difficulties. 

I also wanted to ask following Iris’s example if we put “ESTC” or the full “English Short Title Catalogue” in the 510 References field?

Many thanks for the examples.

Clare

I thought the way the digitised pages are displayed is confusing; if I remember correctly, rectos were displayed on the left hand side and versos on the right hand side for the first half of the book. It is a shame that the binding was not digitised as well. Apart from that, I did not encounter any difficulties.

I will start off the discussion but, please, feel free to keep on submitting your records.

The ones of you who catalogued the item, did you encounter any difficulties? I appreciate that it is not the easiest thing to catalogue from a digital image.
